DOWNWIND SAFARIS

Experience the thrill of surfing wind waves with the safety, convenience, and comfort of a professional support boat. A boat shuttle from Emeryville Marina delivers paddlers to the best downwind route available based on current conditions. Barbary Ghost screens for traffic, ensures that paddlers are on course for the take-out, and shoots video of the adventure - leaving paddlers with nothing to worry about but catching the next glide. At the end of the run paddlers climb aboard for the shuttle back upwind and a chance to rest, grab water and a snack, and hit the restroom before the next run.

New to downwinding? The Downwind Safari RECON offers a 30 minute hands-on introduction to downwinding in flat water and a short warm-up downwinder before heading out on the boat to line up a beginner-friendly run.

Your day at the beach is just a boat ride
away! This unique adventure is a combination of Bay cruise, boat BBQ,
paddle excursion, and beach outing. A one hour cruise around Treasure
Island offers world class views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and
the San Francisco skyline before passing under the Bay Bridge to drop
anchor in Treasure Island's sheltered cove. Set off on
paddleboards (optional) to explore the calm, beautiful cove and land on
the sandy beach. Paddling in this protected cove is safe and fun all ages and skill levels. Back on the boat the grill is fired up and ready for
your BBQ and private party on the upper deck.

ANGEL ISLAND SUP ADVENTURE

Explore the rugged beauty and hidden beaches of Angel Island's
wind-sheltered eastern shore. A 50 minute boat cruise across the bay will deliver you to a protected cove on
Angel Island. From here, you'll paddle at your own pace around the 5 miles of shore, making landfall as you please to explore sandy
beaches that are accessible only by boat. Even on windy days, this
stretch of water is usually calm and flat. Pack your own boat picnic
and refreshments for this trip, and bring something for the grill if
you'd like. This is a half-day (4-5 hour) tour departing from and returning to Emeryville Marina.
